I will now officially say that the next chapter will in fact be the last chapter in this story. I am dreadfully sorry for what misaki does in this chapter I know it may seem out of character but it's all for Usagi's sake so maybe it's not as out of character as I think. Wow looking at the time I wrote this as soon as I posted the last chapter it's now an hour later...uhh record time?
It is at this very moment that Misaki knows what he has to do. He takes off running for Usagi's room in the basement of the castle. He atleast knows he is somewhat safe there. Much safer than being alone with the queen. Though as he runs he sees where she goes.
As Misaki finally reaches the small room several flights of stairs down a plan has already been formed tonight he would carry it out.
Misaki looks through everything in the small room and finds the one thing perfect for his plan and very carefully hides it in the fabric of his shirt under the cloak. He would have to be careful when moving and sitting but it was doable.
Misaki waits for Usagi to return.
Much sooner than expected Usagi returns. Usagi doesn't say a word as he pulls Misaki by his arm. He points to a door right next to his and Misaki understands.
Usagi doesn't want him to be there when he wakes up as he scared him earlier. Misaki enters the room and listens carefully. Usagi was snoring lightly.
Misaki takes in a shaky breath and clears his mind of everything but the mental map he made.
It was now or never. He thought as he made sure not to make a single sound as he retraced his steps back to the room he was in earlier.
He slips down a narrow hallway and passes a window. Just as he suspected it was now the dead of night for Ekurana.
He pauses listening very carefully and he deems it clear to continue.
He finds the room he is looking for without being caught. This was lucky for him not so much for her. He slips into the room she is laying in bed sound asleep as Misaki approaches her.
Misaki had one chance to do this if he failed it would be his life and most likely Usagi's as well. But he had to try.
Misaki reaches behind himself and grabs the object he put in the back of his shirt. He slowly brings it out from behind him and begins to unwrap it from the blood red shirt Usagi had worn earlier.
In the dark room Misaki glances out a rounded window and sees a couple different moons. A tear makes its way down his face. He prayed this worked he really did. As he takes the red shirt and takes a long jagged knife out of it.
The long very sharp blade glints in the dim moonlight as he looked at it.
He knew that getting her heart was out of the question as he didn't know exactly where her heart was. However he did know of a soft spot much easier to access and it was deadly even for Usagi's kind.
Back when Aikawa was testing him he asked about morbid stuff just for the hell of it and their bone structure was the same, as humans and it was perfect. That was the exact knowledge that Misaki needed at this moment.
He leans over the queen and her eyes slowly open. shit she was awake he had to do it now. he plunges the knife into her flesh and the look in her eyes is one of realization. in that instant she is dead, never to move on her own again.
~I do regret to inform you that our precious Misaki is in fact doing exactly what you think he is doing~
Misaki returned to the room Usagi put him in an hour before. Once he gets there he pulls the knife and red shirt out and puts them under the mattress.
It didn't matter, Usagi wouldn't be hurt anymore, he wouldn't have to be emotionless. He could cry if he wanted he could smile he could talk. He could be happy here and not fear being punished anymore.
Usagi was free to do what he wanted and that was exactly what Misaki wanted.
Misaki looks down at his hands the reality sinking in completely. Misaki walks out and into Usagi's room and taps him till he wakes up.
Tears are streaming down Misaki's face. Usagi looks at the crying boy.
"Misaki what's wrong?" He questions.
"There's no way to reason with the queen is there?" Misaki asks his voice cracking as he continues to cry.
Usagi shakes his head. "It's ok Misaki, I can handle it." He says and pulls Misaki in close.
Misaki pushes Usagi away and wipes his eyes.
"I feel better now then as there was no reasoning with her." Misaki says his voice still shaky.
Usagi looks at him. "What do you mean?" He asks.
Misaki looks at his hands and whispers three words so quietly Usagi can barely hear him and he's inches from the boy.
"I killed her."
Usagi's concerned expression goes to one of great sadness.
"Misaki you didn't have to do that, I know she was horrible but you should have told me what you were thinking and I could have stopped you. I didn't want for you to not be pure." Usagi's whispers and pulls Misaki into a hug.
"You stained yourself with blood and now when they find it was you that did it, there will be no second thoughts you will die." Usagi whispers and kisses Misaki's forehead.
Misaki takes a deep breath in. "The moment I thought I shouldn't was the moment it went in she died instantly without a struggle, she was asleep and now she won't wake up ever again." He says.
Usagi understands why Misaki did it but he didn't like the fact that he had done it.
The ground begins to shake roughly and Redstone bricks begin to fall from above them. Usagi grabs Misaki and they start running for the stairs. The castle was shaking violently and it was dangerous to stay inside of it.
An alarm sounds as a guard runs past them her hair flowing behind her. She skids to a stop. "She glares at Misaki who shrinks back behind Usagi.
"I just received word from the guard scheduled to check on the queen. She found the queen dead in a pool of her own blood. A single stab to the head. And one of you did it. I can smell the blood on one of you." She says as a large chunk of the ceiling above her falls.
It lands on her and Usagi scoops Misaki up and runs as fast as he can out of the castle as the rest of it begins to sink rapidly into the ground.
Within seconds the entire castle is now a massive hole in the planet. Behind them several other sections of the planet sink under and leave smaller holes in the planet.
The massive holes release a gas of some sort and it becomes nearly impossible to breathe even for Usagi.
